7's are still being used a plenty, just thank god they are being used as
guitars instead of basses.
guys like Petrucci, Loomis, Broderick, Smythe, Andy James , Tony Mcalpine,
Vai, Dave Weiner, Tom Kopyto are all doing really cool stuff with them.
I've got 2, a Schecter Loomis sig, and a Carvin DC727, and I play those 2
more than I play my Jackson Sl2H or my GMW's these days. Even if I'm
playing 6 string stuff I'll use my Carvin because it's such a nice playing
guitar and I've got Bareknuckle pickups in it which totally kick ass.
Schecter has a few 7 string models out, but if you want a floyd
it's going to be the Loomis. (there is a hellraiser 7 with a floyd coming
though). the C-7 floyds are out but those are cheapo guitars.
Ibanez still has a couple of 7 string models besides the Universe
and you can get them with floyds or without.
Personally speaking my Carvin 7 is the best playing 7 I've come across
yet, hell it's one of the best playing guitars I've come across ...period,
6 or 7 strings.
As Ken stated head on over to
The guys over there are all cool and very helpful (lots of Jackson fans
over there too) Jackson would do well to put out a production model 7
string USA soloist with a floyd. they'd sell plenty of them.
I know if I had a 7 string version of my SL2H , I don't know if I'd even look any other 7 string guitars
These are my two : Loomis on the left (26.5 scale),
Carvin on the right.
They both sound great thru my JSX set up.
some good 7 string songs with some serious shredding in each one.
Dram Theater The Glass Prison live
live Nevermore "the River Dragon- with Broderick)
Andy James - "Devils Day" - off of his amazing CD)

I see Warrel's hair is now brown and more than a foot shorter! 
It will also have a lower list price than the current RG-1527.
It appears to be Korean and fixed bridge as you noted, but I don't know if it's the Edge FX bridge or not yet. No word on the scale length yet either.
